Below is a link to my take on the redesign: http://files.edin.dk/php/installer/snaps-html/index.html (Warning - none of the links on the page go to anywhere) My thinking is keep one set of builds on the main page and then provide a link to previous builds, which we can give an ftp-style listing or make the nicer looking page like above. This keeps the snaps page cleaner since I would think most people would be looking for the latest snap and not necessarily one of the previous 4 ones. Let me know if my approach and design sounds reasonable.

Looks really good. One suggestion: how about removing the left column ("next snapshot") and add that info under each "built on"? -Hannes

Yes, it looks excellent.

I think we should put it as is since that information is vital for people without a windows system to see if their fixes build on win32. I'll put this up over the weekend. Thanks John! Edin

Thanks, Let me know if you need any help getting it up and running. Also, for the "Previous Build" links, do we want to just dump them to a directory or have a nicely formated page similar to this one. Either way shouldn't be a problem. John On 5/25/07, Edin Kadribasic <edin@krug.dk> wrote:

I like the design under Firefox, but I guess you didn't check it out with IE7? It gives me a lot of scrollbars in the page ... Tijnema

Fixed that; IE7 and overflow: auto where the culprits, so I added special CSS just for that browser. Thanks for catching that! On 5/25/07, Tijnema <tijnema@gmail.com> wrote:

Although I have actually nothing to say here, I like the approach as well. It seems to be very clear to me. I have already said that I dislike the "Next Snapshot" column on snaps.php.net, but you have made the column far less complex. :)
